Multiple applications in one IIS website with MS Release Management

Question

I am using the IIS Web App Deployment Using WinRM extension for MS Release Management vNext template (TFS 2015 Update 2). I can deploy a simple website so I think that my permissions and everything must be set-up properly.

My issue is that I would like to have multiple web applications hosted in a single website and deploy it automatically.

The WinRM - IIS Web App Management task does not seem to have an option for doing this. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Do the following:

1. Add a Manage IIS task which creates the website
2. Add a Deploy IIS task which deploys to website\app and set the Override Parameters to name="IIS Web Application Name", value="$(WebAppName)" where WebAppName=website\app.
